But I do wonder - how good is rat poison as a chemical warfare agent? In this case, did so many people die because it was sprayed indoors, or for some other reason?

It's just sad already.

C'mon now, even if there is a 1% chance of this happening, a twitter screencap isn't gonna prove shit and is just inviting people to make fun of you OP
immediate butthurt XD suffer vatBlack person
1.I can believe this happened.
2.I can believe it not just because of my experience with Russia, but my experience with militaries oustide of Russia as well (they were all Eastern European though).
3.A lot of people get injured or even die without seing the front, it's not a uniquely Russian thing.
There's still gas-based anti-vermin poisons. You spread the pellets when you want long-term de-ratting and you want the rats to turn into dessicated mummies that do not smell up the place. You fumigate if you want the rats dead right now and in bulk.
Also, it's very possible the military did not use the most modern of poisons.
>a twitter screencap isn't gonna prove shit
Prove what, homie? I've literally just asked a related question:
>how good is rat poison as a chemical warfare agent?
It is shit as it has to be eaten.
Depends on the poison and the situation. If you're a partisan and have access to field kitchens, rat poison is one of the most easily available poisons you can get your hands on + there are several brands that are very hard to detect by taste.
But as an actual established military weapon it's probably trash.
you've asked this question as a pretense to shitpost about moronic russians, in a futile attempt to justify the existence of this thread on a board about weapons
how good is rat poison as a chemical warfare agent? it's bad as a chemical warfare agent, people died because they ate it
Is this the public excuse for the people "responsible" for allowing the recent smoker incident to happen?
Tweet says it was put in the food, you stupid frick. Rat poison is not used as an aerosol.
>Tweet says it was put in the food
It doesn't say anything about the mode of administration.
Rat poison are almost all anticoagulants. They are absorbed through digestion and are slow acting.
So they're inconvenient to use, slow acting, and perfectly treatable. Pick something else.
Treatment may involve oral and/or intravenous (IV) medication. Depending on the specific case, individuals may or may not fully recover and long-term treatment may be needed.
The anticoagulants in rat poisons stop the actions of a vitamin K enzyme your body needs to form blood clots. To reverse this blood thinning effect, you may be given vitamin K1 therapy through an IV.
Blood thinning poisons called superwarfarins have long-lasting effects, so you will need to take oral doses of vitamin K1 therapy for about 168 consecutive days.
There are no drugs to reverse the effects of non-anticoagulant rat poisons like bromethalin, strychnine, or zinc phosphide. Supportive care may include IV fluids and treatments for specific symptoms. Activated charcoal or ipecac may be used to detox the gastrointestinal tract.
If true it depends on what old soviet poison they used.
We don't know what kind of poison they used, but hospitalised people tend to be vulnerable so a small dose could be enough.
Ordinarily, I would never believe an unsourced twitter post.
Seeing as this is Russians we're talking about.... I give it at least 10% probability.
>russian akkkking from zyklon b in current year +7
If you have access to their food and drink wouldn't antifreeze be better? No way they taste anything through their vodka.
What are the chances Ivan mistook it for drugs an smooked the poison
>when you use the ratnik remover instead of the rat remover
